A/N: Hello, everyone! Welcome to Twilight Angel. It's a re-write of Twilight Night with one major difference, no Sailor Scouts (alive at least). Here's the summary.
Summary:
After the battle with Chaos, Adachi Sakura, aka, Sailor Night, is the sole survivor. She is now in possession of all of the Sailor Crystals, the Silver Millennium Crystal included, of which she is charged to protect. Having suffered enough with bad memories, Sakura leaves Japan in search of a new life and a new place she can call home.
Sakura finds a remote town in the mountainous region of Washington called Forks. Instead of finding peace, she finds something she had hoped to have left behind back in Tokyo. What's a retired Sailor Scout to do?
I can't believe I'm putting myself through hell.
By Hell, I mean going back to high school. I lived far too long as a manic-depressive zombie after losing all of my trusted friends and companions in the battle against Chaos. Chaos had been defeated but it came at the lives of my friends. Personally, I shouldn't have survived the battle either but the planet needed to be protected. Usagi's spirit came to me after the fight and told me not to feel so guilty. I had done my job as a soldier and that I deserved to live a normal life. So here I am, I guess.
Well, Usagi, I'm doing what you have suggested.
I'm now walking towards the doors of Forks High School and I'm seriously starting to regret my decision to return to school. Too many people are staring at me and pointing out my silvery, lavender hair. My hair used to be a deep shade of purple but now I can pass an albino (thanks to 'inheriting' the Silver Crystal) and I know that will pass school regulations. With strict military bearing, I stride on into the school and ignore everyone's curious glances. Some kid, Eric, comes up to greet me and offers me to show me around the school. I'm about to blow him off but remember that Usagi would want me to get to know other people.
"Sure, I guess." I reply.
I'm not really known to be polite but I'm trying to reestablish myself with the living world so I know I have to make an attempt at being friendly. Eric kindly leads me to the office while chatting off my ear trying to learn everything there is to the new girl. There's nothing wrong with him per se. He, just like everyone else, is super curious. He does have a kind soul, though. He introduces me to the school secretary, who hands me my class schedule and a map of the school. I sigh.
"It's overwhelming, isn't it?" Eric asks compassionately.
"Indeed it is. It's definitely different from the schools in Japan." I remark.
I look at my schedule and it's English class with Mr. Banner. Eric has government class to go to but he instructs me where to go. I thank him and go on my way.
After giving the teacher my slip to sign, he assigns me a spot next to a boy named Edward Cullen. I had been watching him surreptitiously as his lack of an aura had caught my attention as I entered my classroom. Of course, I'm assigned to the empty spot next to him and as I soon as I get even near him, he goes rigid. He gives me a furious glare with his coal-black eyes.
Now that's interesting.
It's not that I'm not used to hostility. I've dealt with hostility during my time as a Sailor Scout so that's nothing new. It's strange, though, that someone should react to my strange presence in that manner. As soon as I sit down next to him, he leans over and away from me, as if I smelled bad or something. Okay, now this is starting to piss me off. I've done nothing to this guy. I glare at him right back.
Keep this up, asshole, and I'll give you a reason to lean away from me.
I can't believe that I have to put up with this for close to an hour. It's an hour that I have to put up with my power stick pulsing inside my shirt. Even though I'm supposed to be a retired Sailor Scout, you just never know where trouble may pop up from...and it's looking like I found some. Fan-fucking-tastic. I sigh. Well, if Cullen is going to be rude then I am going to be rude right back.
Lunch
"So what happened in English?" A girl named Jessica asks.
"Not exactly sure, to be honest." I reply.
Most of the people I'm sitting with have pretty much welcomed me into their circle, save one, of course. As I'm describing what had transpired in class, I feel a strange prick at the base of my neck...like I'm being watched. I search the cafeteria in search of the pair of eyes and lo and behold, I catch Edward Cullen at me glaring at me. I glare at him back and send him a double bird before turning back to my table mates, ignoring the chuckle coming from the big guy sitting with Cullen. A few of my companions chuckle as well, while Lauren has her jaw dropped.
"I've never seen anyone give pretty boy the bird, much less two birds." Mike Newton says.
By the time I step into Biology class, I am thoroughly pissed off. I am sick and tired of being subjected to hostility. So, without meaning to, as Edward comes in, I shove him against the wall without effort and get into his face. This causes him to cringe but I don't give a fuck at this point.
"Listen up, Cullen." I growl. "If you have a problem with me, say it to my face and don't just glare at me. Don't treat me like a piece of shit."
The class goes silent and stays silent when I return to my seat. I grin at the fear that I have instilled in some of my classmates. I do feel bad for Angela, though. Angela is one of the few students who actually is interested in me as a person. She is a complete sweetheart so I send her a quick apology before our teacher comes in to begin the lesson.
Can the rest of the day go faster?
Not fast enough. I can feel Jessica's fear and curiosity. She's afraid but she wants to ask me about my little outburst. One withering look and she turns her attention onto her lesson. I can't explain what happened without letting my secret identity as Sailor Night slip. Plus, as I see it, my unusual strength is no one's business.
I hope gym class goes better.
Let's just say my unusual strength nearly got me into trouble.
